Pet care experience
I have 7+ years of experience working with pets of all kids, including previously working at a veterinary office. I have been doing drop ins and walks for more than 2 years (not many reviews here yet as I previously only worked privately and on Wag but can share past reviews(75+ 5 Star reviews)).
Reviews
Ryan was fantastic with our 9 year old greyhound! He sent us lots of updates and photos, took him on nice walks, and treated him super kindly. He was quick to respond to our messages and was available last minute. I would definitely book with him again!
Ryan Accepted a last-minute request to take care of my dog when another sitter canceled because of Covid. He did a great job taking care of her in my apartment. I came home to a happy dog and a clean apartment. I would definitely use Ryan again
Ryan was such a great dog walker with my 75 lbs dog! He provided thorough and timely updates and was extremely responsive. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking him again!
Ryan was great! Very helpful with a number of last minute logistical changes on our end. He was very patient with our dog who has some mild separation anxiety and great with our cats! Would highly recommend him to anyone looking and definitely would book again!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my first priority when it comes to caring for pets. with my experience working in a vet's office and a rescue I know how important it is to ensure an animals physical safety through properly fitting collars and harnesses but also how important it is for an animal to feel emotionally safe and am happy to slowly allow a pet to build up trust never wanting to put an animal in an uncomfortable or triggering situation.
Information Ryan D. would like to know about your pet
Would love to know what you pet likes (or dislikes) on visits. If you have any special requests please let me know and I will see if I can accommodate.
A typical day
I tend to try to cater my activities to the dog I am walking. Often I try to take them to a nearby park to get to sniff and check out all the grass and trees and smells but I know for some dogs they do best away from high traffic areas like parks and love to wind down quiet side streets
